"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

I like this guy. I love the story about how all of the Jays prospects, after getting their signing bonus $$$$ deposited into their accounts, went on a shopping orgy. Norris bought a t-shirt...that's all. His signing bonus money is tucked away in an investment account. That's music to my ears. This guy's a tad eccentric, but he's got his priorities straight in so many ways.

I will be marginally happy if some trades happen. I just don't see a major 10 game winning streak in this team over the next month. JV looked great today, but the previous 3 games were turds.

This has been a bad team since May. This could be an atrocious team during August and September. I'm supposed to see my first Tigers game at Comerica in late August. I might as well save some money and watch West Michigan play (definitely not the Mud Hens...they suck, too).

I never played organized tackle football. I played almost every other sport beside football. I was a basketball junkie. I know basketball, but I love to watch football. Michigan football has always been my #1 spectator sport. One of the reasons why I love this site is that I learn so many nuances about football (also, lots of snark on this site).

I have encouraged my son to participate in every sport possible to see if he likes them. He's hated everything. I had him on skates by age 3. He was a great skater, but didn't like hockey. He hates baseball. Soccer, too. He despised basketball, which broke my heart. We allowed him to try football in 4th grade. HE LOVED IT. We're letting him play because, well, he loathes all other sporting options. It's the only form of exercise he gets without us forcing him to do it (and forcing him to do it equates into him hating it). We have decided the risks of him getting injured in football outweigh the risks of him sitting in front of a computer 24/7 during his younger years.

Good news...he tried lacrosse last spring and really liked it. So we have another sporting option for the future.

How about a stadium halo ring of honor? I'm envisioning a nice maize halo ringing the top of the stadium, with huge retired numbers floating on the halo. I'm sure I could drum up some grass roots support for this idea.

Mr. Russell Wilson scoffs at this notion (I know, a 1 year rental QB). Tolzien actually had some good years, and Brooks Bollinger was a pain in the side for many years, though. It's not Quarterback U by any stretch of the imagination (Running Back U, or O-Line U?).

Yup, you heard it right. It's the only car that I've been in at speeds exceeding 100 mph. I wasn't driving. It wasn't pleasant. I thought I was going to die.

Edit: Slowest was my Dad's old orange 1970's, half-rusted pickup. It was a wood hauling truck. He could get it to 50 mph on the highway, but the cab shook with an earthquake-like violence at those speeds. That thing was slow.

The Michigan Marching Band, to me, MAKES the game day experience at Michigan Stadium. Tailgating is great, but the MMB is the difference to me. Hang out at the Revelli Hall steps and watch the drum corps work its magic before the game. March to the stadium with the band. Wildly cheer your ass off as the band takes the field (I've been known to get misty-eyed at this sight).

I've with you on this point. Believe me. But at least there is some traditional connection with the actual color black for Nebraska (for at least half the team). It's admittedly a tenuous connection, and one that was probably not used to create the black alternate unis. I think this combo of red and black just doesn't work, and the fishnet markings are way too busy for my taste. Let's call it what it is...a bald attempt to get Nebraska fans to shell out $$$$ for another jersey to wear while husking corn.

I'm fine with this strategy, especially if Mike I. is willing to be active during free-agency this off-season. Might as well pick up some cheap, young talent, then rearm with a key free agent signing or two.

As a small moral victory, please remember that Joe Nathan will be off the payroll next year.

I had Dish for two years in the 90's, then two years in the late 2000's when the DirecTV receivers/DVRs were consistently flaky. Otherwise, I've been with DirecTV. I'll be with them until I can 100% cut the cord with reliable streamed Michigan sports.

I just discovered that Le Moyne's nickname is the Dolphins. Isn't this college in upstate NY? Does Lake Ontario harbor a native population of freshwater dolphins that frolic in lake effect snow showers?

I also discovered that Le Moyne is French for "the Moyne".

Q: Is this an exhibition game? I assume so, since Le Moyne is classified as DII.
